حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ ، عَنْ زُهْرَةَ بْنِ مَعْبَدٍ ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ ، قَالَ : كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ آخِذٌ بِيَدِ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، فَقَالَ : وَاللَّهِ لَأَنْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا نَفْسِي . فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَا يُؤْمِنُ أَحَدُكُمْ حَتَّى أَكُونَ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ " . فَقَالَ عُمَرُ : فَلَأَنْتَ الْآنَ وَاللَّهِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ نَفْسِي . فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " الْآنَ يَا عُمَرُ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abdullah bin Hisham (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was holding the hand of Hazrat Umar Farooq (may Allah be pleased with him). Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O Messenger of Allah! (peace and blessings be upon him) I swear by Allah that you are more beloved to me than everything except my own self." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "None of you can be a complete believer until I become more beloved to him than his own self." Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) submitted, "By Allah! Now you are more beloved to me than my own self." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "O Umar! Now it is complete."
